I can’t imagine living in a NYCHA project man, that sounds brutal, how do you even put up with all that?

You’re surviving in your own home, and what’s with people pissing, and shitting all over the project lobbies/elevators? Last time I went to visit a friend, there was literal shit in a plastic bag, smeared all across the floor with hella garbage on top of it, topped off with a swarm of flies flying over it.

I can’t fathom how someone would treat their place of home like that. I really think the degenerates that reside in those building, are apart of the reason why nobody does anything about nothing when it comes to those project buildings.

Honest question, after all this why would you continue to live in such conditions? Surely your quality of life would be much better outside of the city if you couldn’t afford a better apartment. Even the worst Eastern European apartment blocks I’ve been to aren’t as bad as you describe your apartment.

Half of Americans don't have $1k in their bank accounts to cover an emergency.

Moving costs money. Who knows if they have a car or even a license? Sure, there are lower COL cities, but it's not easy to just pack up when perhaps some NYCHA residents don't know anything other than NYC.

Have you ever tried the compliance office or the OCC? They tend to be a little better at follow up. Still problematic, but could maybe help with some of the outstanding issues.

The old company I use to work for had the NYCHA contract for the annual boiler inspections. I don't remember if they passed or failed those years but I do remember the inspector assigned to do all the locations was happy AF because of how laid back everyone was.
